Re: BigInt once more (and possibly last time) #399

2009-02-28 Thread Alex Myodov
Not being a part of the developers, but being interested in the proper resolution of this feature, I just second this request: somewhen this just should be dealt with. My own understanding is that lacking a stock BigInt field (or some stock customization capability of the Integer field that would

2009-03-01 Thread Alex Myodov
As a person that raised the problem initially, I can only add several words to the current discussion thread on the issue: kmtracey mentioned that "as I can find no mention of AutoField on the referenced IRC page, so I'll just put it back to DDN", so, in fact my explanation of the use case is pres

2009-03-01 Thread Alex Myodov
Well, according to "If there's some really strong use-case that's been overlooked here, it can be brought up in a thread on django-dev", I think I need to explain the feature a bit better. Why we may ever need to have autofields being non-primary-keys? To be able to use several autofields in a si

Sorry for the shameless messing in, but... if you want a release to be considered rock-stable and proven from the beginning,.. never name it 2.0. Neither 1.0. Nor any *.0. "Anything-dot-zero" obviously stands for "just released after a rush to fit into the deadline" and implies "let's wait for oth

Hi all. Can someone experienced please have a look at the #3163 ticket ("sql_generation_required" Meta option) and hint me what other steps should I do to move the patch forward? I have a suspicion that the testcases are the only remaining thing - but then, can someone hint me how these testcases

James, the answer is - "cause these people may still want to run "manage.py syncdb" for other models in the same app". You use "manage.py syncdb/reset/something" for the whole application (cause you are still doing the development, and the table structure changes from day to day), and all the tabl

I am among the people interested in this patch. But, looking at the patch concepts from the PostgreSQL perspective, I wonder whether it will be possible to use it as a base of native BIGSERIAL support in Django (it is likely that MySQL supports something similar, but sqlite needs double-checking).

Being curious, had tried several benchmarks as well. Indeed, the function-level imports have some overhead. But the overhead becomes less and less important, as long as the function complexity increases. If a function does nothing except import (as in your case), the performance hit is several hun
